Hexham August 8th. 1797
Sir
Being desir’d by Mr. Blacket to give you some information respecting the Alterations at Hexham Abbey – I wrote to you from Durham the day after, but am afraid my Letter had not been put into the Office there as you did not mention the rec[eip]t of it in your last to Mr. Blacket. My Fathers to you was sent from Hexham (without my knowledge) prior to the time that Mr. B. mentioned your Wish. I have not a doubt but you would find some errors in it b

My dear Sir,
I have the Favor of yours and am much obliged to You for making my apologies for not being able to be at the Abbey to give the Bishop the meeting. If you think it absolutely necessary to have a House for to keep our Papers &c in, the smaller the better as we don’t want either a spare Room or bed as we never make use of either. I should not wish to take any one for more than seven Years I would rather have one for five. I will be much obliged to You to

My dear Sir,
Enclosed is a letter this Morning from Mr. Newton, I wanted to know the difference of the Expense betwixt making the entrance at the West front, and that of raising the old Archway, as I should imagine there will be something very considerable – I am very sorry that nothing can be done to hinder the Lessees from working the Mines, as unquestionably we shall be very great Losers. If you will write to Sir H. Wilson as you always pay the interest from Newcas
Letter – Thomas Emerson to John Erasmus Blackett – 12 Aug 1797
Sir,
I received the inclosed from the men who are working the freehold part of Dryburn lead mine, and as they are only ab[ou]t 70 fathoms from where the vein comes into the copyhold they are wanting a bargain from thence to the top of the Fell, But I expect you'll not think much of their proposals because it would be quite a new precedent both as to Length of ground (which may be nearly a mile) and that of haveing the ore to dispose of for paying Colonel Beaumont 12s per Bing.

Letter – Jonathan Shield to John Bell – 2 Sep 1797
Sir (Sep. 2 1797)
I deem it is a duty incumbent upon me to advise you of those litigious individuals who Opposed the late Assessm[en]t for the Relief of the Poor of the Parish of Allendale, and as it did sufficiently appear, that a great deal of their Venom was spit at Mr. Beaumont; notwithstanding the dayly advantages that accrued to them, in consequence of their Tenants having dayly employment under the Lord of

Letter – John Scott to Shute Barrington – 25 Sep 1797
My Lord,
I have delayed writing to your Lordship, because I had thought myself to believe That I might have the Honour of waiting upon you, &, in that Case, the Opportunity of a few Minutes Conversation about Walkington. I have not held the Chancery Sittings, because Mr. Pearson informed me that there was neither Cause nor Motion to dispose of, and, though the Country ought not to have in its Power to say that they have not a Court open, to which they may occasionally come, I venture

Foundling 28 Sep 1797
My Lord,
As far as appears from the papers, the principles that Mr. M. has adopted seem to be fair between the Parties, & to be intitled to a general approb[atio]n as a ground of Treaty: so far I shd. wish yr Lp’s Approb[atio]n to extend. I presume it will be sufficient for you to say at present that, from what has been stated, you conceive the proposed inclosure will be both a general benefit to the Country, & an advantage individually to the Prop

From the statement which you have made to me of a proposed inclosure in Weardale, I conceive that it will a general benefit to the country, & an advantage individually to the proprietors of land within that extensive district. On these grounds therefore it has my entire approbation: As to the line between the parties interested, I wish you & them to consider it first among themselves, & to examine how it can be drawn most beneficially & fairly for all the parties

Sir Hexham Abbey 5th October 1797
I am much concerned to hear the Acct. you give of young Newton tho at the same time I have reason not only to hope but to believe the Money he got of one Case could be all or most of it paid away because the very last time he was at Hexham he got no Money of me - On the 8th of Augt he was paid £150 but nothing since
Mr. Hunter did not say any thing to m
